"Psyops personnel, soldiers and officers, have been working in CNN's headquarters in Atlanta through our programme 'Training With Industry'. They worked as regular employees of CNN. Conceivably, they would have worked on stories during the Kosovo war. They helped in the production of new typa of news."
�De Vries refers to the Commander of the Fourth Psychological Operations Group, Colonel Cristopher St. John, who described the cooperation with CNN as "a textbook example of the kind of ties the American army wants to have with the media."
�The kind of ties that will allow it "to spread handpicked 'information' and keep other news quiet, ... to control the internet, to wage electronic warfare against disobedient media, and to control commercial satellites. �Most of which, it should be noted, the intelligence community already does to varying degrees. Still, the control is not yet complete enough.�

Just think of advertising on TV, the government spends millions of dollars with some of the largest New York agencies to influence our opinions, TV is an enormously powerful tool. It's pumped into our homes 24 hours a day, you see something enough you start to believe it.
